As announced last Spring, the Hound and Horn changes its policy somewhat with the October-December issue.. The "Harvard Miscellany" has been dropped from the title because it misrepresented the intention of the editors. The fact that Harvard men have hitherto been the principal contributors and the subjects of many of the articles has not been intentional, but rather a matter of geography and accessibility.

The Hound and Horn is primarily a magazine devoted to the arts and letters; and its main interest is in furthering them., It does not believe that any special dogmas will of themselves create art and letters. Criticism has no meaning and no value until a work of art has first justified itself aesthetically, until it is accepted as a work of art. The Hound and Horn is simply an instrument, a means for cohesion.
